Step 1: Add the Zoom Meetings Manager to your Moodle course
You will only need to do this step once for each Moodle course. We recommend adding the Zoom meetings manager to the top section of your course pageDo not perform steps 1 and 2 for each and every Zoom meeting (see the optional step 5 below).
